Can't configure IMAP email on iPad 2

I'm trying to configure IMAP email on my iPad2 (OS 5.0)

After entering the appropriate values:

Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.MyDomainName.com
User Name: MyFullEmailAddress
Password: MyEmailPassword

Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name: imap.MyDomainName.com
User Name: MyFullEmailAddress
Password: MyEmailPassword

I get a message saying:

Cannot Connect Using SSL
Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL

When I answer "Yes", I get the following message:

The IMPA server "imap.MyDomainName.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field

BTW, I'm able to configure for a POP3 connection by turning SSL off. Unfortunately, I want IMAP.

Also, SmartMail is evidently not yet compatible with iPad 2 (or maybe it's the other way around). Anyway, the list of emails in the inbox displays Ok but there's no way to select/display one.

Hope someone can help with this.

Thanks,

can you access your mail via Outlook (on desktop) using the same IMAP config?

 

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I was using port 143 (the iPad offers this by default). Interestingly, I just tried to setup IMAP again and it worked without any problem.
Thanks again.

 

Thanks for the response.

My Outlook was setup with POP3 access. I didn't try to setup for IMAP (should have though).

Anyway, I just tried again and this time it works fine.

Thanks again,
